    I was heading in to work last night at 6:30 pm and it was still in excess of 100F and I see a stack of hardwood skids on the side of the road just down from work. So what’s a hoarder to do? I pull up and start throwing them on the back of the old ute. As I was doing this my workmates are going past tooting their car horns.

    Once at work and in the change room getting out of my now sweaty clothes and into my work uniform they continued to give me a ripping.

    So I answered the only way I could. Well ya see if my friends at FHC found out I passed up a easy hardwood scrounge like that they would revoke my hoarders card

    Nice scrounge leoht! Even more impressive with that kind of heat!

    Now what I really wanna know is....what is that creature your driving? Is that some sort of modern day el camino?

    That my friend is what an Aussie calls a ute.
    Ute (vehicle) - Wikipedia

    Specifically it’s a well worn 2002 Ford Falcon 1 tonner. Yes they do resemble a El-Camino or Ranchero

    It’s my daily drive so I don’t put unnecessary miles on my truck. And being the same width only slightly longer than a car it’s good in traffic.

    Pretty cool. That idea never seemed to catch on over here.

    Would be okay to get those in 100 degrees but not for cutting for sure!
